Transient arrested for attempted burglary in Milpitas

Daniel Robert Bobba, a 28-year-old transient, was arrested last week after he allegedly tried to break into a residence on the 1001 block of South Main Street, Milpitas Police Department reported.

On July 22 at about 11:38 a.m., Milpitas police responded to a 911 call from a resident at that location. The victim reported someone attempted to force open the front door of the residence, but fled on foot prior to police arrival.

As officers searched the area, a neighbor called police to report a man was hiding in their patio area. Officers surrounded the area and located the suspect hiding under some loose clothing, police said.

After further investigation, officers determined the suspect attempted to force entry into a second home by prying a window, police said.

Although they were not able to confirm the suspect was responsible for the first attempted burglary, the officers arrested the suspect for the second attempted burglary.

The suspect, later identified as Bobba, is on probation for drug offenses. He was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of attempted residential burglary, police said.
